Senior Data Engineer

Remote - United States

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to design, build, and optimize our data platforms so teams across the company can make fast, reliable, data-driven decisions. You’ll be a key technical leader, owning end-to-end data pipelines and modeling, and setting best practices around how we work with data.

You’ll work heavily with Databricks, Spark, SQL, and Python, building scalable data solutions that power analytics, reporting, and data products. Experience in payments or financial services is a strong plus.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build data pipelines
    • Develop, maintain, and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines on Databricks and Spark.
    • Integrate data from multiple internal and external sources into a centralized data platform.
  • Own data modeling & architecture
    • Design and maintain robust data models (e.g., star/snowflake schemas, data vault, dimensional models) to support analytics and self-service BI.
    • Establish and enforce data modeling standards and documentation.
  • Ensure data quality, reliability, and performance
    • Implement data quality checks, validation frameworks, and monitoring.
    • Tune queries and jobs for performance and cost efficiency in Databricks and downstream systems.
  • Collaborate and lead
    • Partner with data analysts, data scientists, and product/engineering teams to understand data needs and translate them into technical solutions.
    • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other data engineers; help review designs and code.
  • Governance & best practices
    • Contribute to and refine our data governance, security, and access control practices.
    • Drive best practices around version control, CI/CD for data, and code standards.

Required Qualifications

  • 7+ years of professional experience as a Data Engineer, Software Engineer, or similar role.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Databricks (or a very similar cloud data platform) including cluster management, jobs, and notebooks.
  • Advanced experience with Apache Spark for batch and/or streaming data processing.
  • Expert-level SQL skills (complex joins, window functions, query optimization).
  • Strong Python skills for data engineering (e.g., PySpark, data processing libraries, scripting).
  • Proven experience in data modeling and designing schemas for analytics and reporting.
  • Experience building and maintaining data pipelines in a cloud environment (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Strong understanding of data warehousing concepts, ETL/ELT best practices, and data lifecycle.
  • Solid software engineering fundamentals: version control (git), testing, code reviews, and CI/CD.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in payments, fintech, banking, or broader financial services (e.g., transaction data, ledgers, risk, fraud, reconciliation).
  • Experience with streaming technologies (e.g., Spark Structured Streaming, Kafka, Kinesis, or similar).
  • Familiarity with dbt or similar transformations-as-code frameworks.
  • Experience with orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Databricks Workflows).
  • Knowledge of BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Looker) and how data models power them.
  • Exposure to machine learning workflows and supporting data science teams.
  • Experience implementing data governance, lineage, and catalog tools.

What You’ll Bring

  • A product mindset: you think about the end users of data and build with usability in mind.
  • A bias for automation, reliability, and scalability over one-off solutions.
  • Comfort with ambiguity, ownership of complex problems, and a desire to continuously improve the data ecosystem.

What We Offer

  • 401k investment opportunity, with company match   
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Plans
  • Paid Time Off   
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • Paid Volunteer Leave
  • Fully Remote Work environment

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
